Was enjoying the WC immensely until about 8-45pm last night. When your country is competitive and can give anyone in the world a run for their money it's always a brilliant occasion. In general international football can be a borefest but once every 4 years in the knock-out stages it gets very special.

Oh well at least it's taken my mind off all things Leeds United and throwing three points away down at Tottenham...doh <steam>

Thanks for reminding me of the Tottenham debacle. I had forgotten that

exactly Jammy… it’s why it’s not worth rising to the attempted baiting from the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh at being knocked out. The poor little fellas will never understand what it’s like to drink at the top table - so let them snipe away. It would be churlish to respond.

It’s just their way of trying to be involved in something they’ll never experience… trying to gatecrash a party they’ll never get an invite to. Bless their cottons, I say. Let them have their schadenfreude.:emoticon-0105-wink:

Let’s be honest. Our form has been shocking since the euro final. The wins against Iran and Senegal got us overhyping our chances again.

yes our form between world cup semi, euro final and World Cup quarter has been occasionally patchy. What have Ireland, NI, Scotland and wales form been like in-between their major tournament knockout phases?

Nice image. Just missing the key: “an island where the parts marked in grey obsess and fantasize about having a football team like the part in orange.”
